हिप-हॉप को हमेशा से समय के लिहाज़ से गलत समझा गया है। ज़्यादातर समय, लोग दूसरी मंज़िल से कहानी सुन रहे होते हैं। बेसमेंट से किसी ने कहानी सुनी ही नहीं है। अगर हिप-हॉप एक केक होता, तो मैं बस इतना ही कह सकता हूँ कि अंडे, मैदा, चीनी, वैनिला—ये सब इसके शुरुआती साल और इसके बुनियादी तत्व हैं।

Hip-hop has always been chronologically misunderstood. Too many times, people are hearing the story from the second floor. Nobody's heard the story from the basement. If hip-hop was a cake, all I can tell you is the eggs, the flour, the sugar, the vanilla - the ingredient years.

70 के दशक में, विलायक रिकॉर्ड इकट्ठा करने के शौकीन हर शख्स के पास मखमली ब्रश होता था। मखमली ब्रश याद है? उससे रिकॉर्ड साफ़ किया जाता था, और आप रिकॉर्ड को सिर्फ किनारों से पकड़कर सावधानी से उसके कवर में खिसकाते थे। मेरे पास कभी मखमली ब्रश नहीं था।

In the '70s, anybody who was a connoisseur of collecting vinyl had the velvet brush. Remember the velvet brush? It would clean the record, and you would only grab the record from the sides and you would carefully slide it into the jacket. I never had a velvet brush.

मैं रिकॉर्ड्स के मामले में बहुत लापरवाह था। मैं उन्हें उंगलियों से खींचकर बाहर निकालता था। मेरे हाथ उन पर हर तरफ़ छप जाते थे।

I was reckless with records. I would pull them out by my fingertips. I would put my hands all over them.

मैं साल में 200 दिन यात्रा किया करता था। मुझे अब इसमें थोड़ी लगाम लगानी पड़ी क्योंकि मेरी एक 17 साल की बेटी है जो समझदारी में अभी से 30 साल की लगती है, और एक 23 साल का बेटा है। मैं उनके आस-पास रहना चाहता हूँ।

I used to travel 200 days of the year. I had to calm it down because I have a 17-year-old daughter going on 30, and a 23-year-old son. I want to be around for them.
